Lyrical references

gollark: The "is information" bit is weird.
gollark: Basically by definition, stuff which goes in cannot come out.
gollark: Black holes can't do that.
gollark: You can hardly go around operating on "grapheme clusters" or something all the time. Codepoints are basically good enough.
gollark: That's still heresy. In *cool* languages the `char` type is for an actual Unicode character.
